 017 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm – McIntyre Medical Building 3655 promenade Sir Willi
 am Osler – Rm 504\n\nALL ARE WELCOME\n\nSYNOPSIS: No randomized\, controll
 ed trials of screening colonoscopy have been completed\, and ongoing trial
 s exclude persons aged 75 years or older. The Medicare program\, however\,
  reimburses screening colonoscopy without an upper age limit. We evaluated
  the effectiveness and safety of screening colonoscopy to prevent colorect
 al cancer (CRC) in persons aged 70 to 74 and those aged 75 to 79 years. We
  used observational data to emulate a target trial with 2 groups: colonosc
 opy screening and no screening. This talk will provide an overview of the 
 motivation\, implementation and methodological challenges faced in impleme
 nting this study.\n\nSEE PDF FOR DETAILS\n
